·From a very ripe vintage and displaying a level of fruit concentration rarely seen in Pinot
Noir from the Willamette Valley. Moderately dark reddish-purple color in the glass. Nicely perfumed with
aromas of blackberry preserves, Hoison sauce and spice. Very tasty core of blackberry and black currant fruit
with a dusting of oak. Full-bodied, round and satisfying, with substantial yet balanced fine-grain tannins, and a
sappy finish of uncommon generosity. This one will spice up your life.Score:91.
